Chapter 283 - Planting Fields

As soon as Chen Yang got in the car, the three women who had been waiting for a while asked why he had taken so long.

Why did the van leave and Chen Yang return so late.

“Something suddenly came up, I got curious and looked into it, so I was delayed a bit,”

Chen Yang said calmly.

“I see.”

Li Han didn’t continue to question him but instead asked directly what Chen Yang had found out.

“I found out some news, the reason why the lobsters we had today were so tasty is because of the lobsters themselves,”

“That guy driving the van, I don’t know where he got those lobsters with such good meat quality, they can sell for a hundred yuan per jin here!”

Chen Yang briefly shared the information he had gathered.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi showed some disdain on her face: “Psh, only a hundred yuan per jin, that’s not expensive at all!

Only a seventh of the price of wild mushrooms.”

Yang Ruoxi’s disdain stemmed from her glimpse of the wild mushrooms, and also from her lack of knowledge about the market.

On the other hand, Li Han and Wu Kexin, who had a better understanding of the market, were shocked to hear the price of one hundred yuan per jin.

“That expensive?

A hundred yuan per jin for live shrimp?

The ones on the market are only thirty or forty!”

Li Han said in surprise.

“Yeah, that’s a huge profit margin!”

Chen Yang nodded and at the same time, completed a U-turn in the alley.

He then drove onto the main road.

“So, Chen Yang, are you thinking about looking into this and getting into lobster farming as well?”

After a moment of silence in the car, Li Han asked with a smile.

Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh after hearing this.

“Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m thinking right now, to produce some lobsters like these.”

When Yang Ruoxi heard that Chen Yang was serious about it, she spoke up.

“Why though, the profit from lobsters isn’t as high as wild mushrooms!

With that effort, it’d be better to set up a couple more greenhouses and continue with wild mushrooms!”

Yang Ruoxi’s idea was quite naive, do whatever is profitable.

If wild mushrooms bring in money, then why not set up hundreds of greenhouses at once, and then there would be lots of money coming in every day.

Why bother with anything else.

But anyone with a little business sense would know.

The high price of wild mushrooms is due to their scarcity, there’s a limited supply on the market, making them expensive.

If we were to set up ten thousand greenhouses all at once, the wild mushrooms flooding the market would naturally increase in numbers.

And naturally, their prices would come down.

That would be a thankless task.

“You don’t understand business, Ruoxi, and moreover, one should not put all their eggs in one basket.

Earning money in various industries is the safest way,”

Chen Yang said with a smile.

Yang Ruoxi listened with partial understanding but didn’t continue to ask questions.

After saying “Oh,” she didn’t speak anymore.

After driving out of the night snack street, Chen Yang asked the three women where they wanted to go next.

Wu Kexin expressed that she wanted to return to the village, as there was much work to do tomorrow, such as helping villagers plant new rice seedlings and fertilizing.

Li Han stated she needed to go back to the hotel, after so many days away, there must be lots of things to handle.

Both women had spoken their minds, leaving only Yang Ruoxi silent.

All three sets of eyes fell on Yang Ruoxi.

“Do you want to go back or go somewhere else?”

Chen Yang asked.

Yang Ruoxi looked timidly at Li Han, as if seeking her approval, “I’d like to go to Chen Yang’s house…”

Upon hearing this, Li Han couldn’t help but smile and shake her head, “Alright then, you can go back with Chen Yang, but you have to listen to what Chen Yang says, don’t be reckless.”

“Okay!

Thank you, sister!”

Seeing Li Han’s consent, Yang Ruoxi was immediately so excited that she nearly jumped in the car.

“You’re a headache to deal with!”

Li Han said with a laugh, then turned to Chen Yang, “Here’s what we’ll do, Chen Yang.

You drop me off at ‘Under the Skies,’ then you can drive my car back to Liuhe Village.”

Chen Yang hadn’t driven there, so if Chen Yang, Wu Kexin, and Yang Ruoxi wanted to go back to the village, they would have to drive Li Han’s car.

Thus, Chen Yang didn’t refuse.

“Okay.”

Instead of hesitating, he nodded and started the car, heading straight to Lintianxia.

Ten minutes later, he dropped Li Han off at the hotel entrance.

“I’m going to stay here for the night and get straight to work tomorrow.

You all be careful on the way back and try to drive slowly,” Li Han said after getting out of the car, turning back to remind the three of them.

“Got it, go on up.

We’ll send you a message when we get home,” Chen Yang replied, and only after watching Li Han enter the elevator did he drive back to Liuhe Village.

For safety reasons late at night, Chen Yang did not drive fast, advancing at a slow speed all the way.

It took over forty minutes to get home from Lintianxia.

The car stopped at the entrance of the clinic, not proceeding to the village committee building.

On the way back, it had been decided that Wu Kexin would stay at Chen Yang’s house.

After the three of them got out of the car, they quickly went inside the house.

Wu Kexin and Yang Ruoxi showered in the bathhouse, while Chen Yang carried a bucket to take care of things in the backyard alone.

Once everyone had finished bathing, they all went to bed.

Having been busy the whole day and running around, everyone was quite tired.

So, Yang Ruoxi did not contradict Chen Yang either, and when Chen Yang wanted to sleep on the floor in the room, they did not say much.

After Chen Yang laid down on the floor, he did not have any mischievous thoughts.

He just fell asleep immediately.

When he woke up, it was a new day.

The first thing Chen Yang did after getting out of bed was to call Yang Caiyun to inform her that the road to Liuhe Village was open.

Upon hearing the news, Yang Caiyun was extremely excited.

Chen Yang could feel her excitement through the screen.

“Alright, Yang Zi, I’ll get someone over there right now,” she said.

“Mm-hmm, hurry up, I’ll be out in the fields later and not at home,” he replied.

“Okay!

I’ll be as quick as I can.” After saying this, she hung up the phone.

Chen Yang woke the two women, and after making breakfast and eating it together, they sat and rested for a while in the clinic.

When the clerk from Caiyun’s store had taken away all the wild mushrooms and rabbits, the three of them closed the clinic and headed to the entrance of the village.

The aid from the town had arrived yesterday.

Everyone was busy at the entrance of the village, planting new seedlings and spreading fertilizer.

The entire Liuhe Village was bustling with activity.

How could Chen Yang, such a warm-hearted villager, not step forward to help?

Helping out turned into a whole day’s activity.

It was not until nightfall that Chen Yang, along with Yang Ruoxi and Wu Kexin, returned home.

After a brief rest, they hastily ate dinner, and then Wu Kexin said goodbye.

Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi initially wanted to ask her to stay a bit longer, but remembering that there was still work to do at the village office, they did not insist on it.

“It’s already dark, let me walk you there,” Chen Yang offered.

Grabbing a flashlight from home, he escorted Wu Kexin back to the village office.

On the way back, Wu Kexin suddenly remembered the message the town mayor had sent her that day.

While walking, she turned her head to glance at Chen Yang and said, “Oh right, Chen Yang, the mayor has responded; the Gu Family has accepted your terms.

They will find an opportunity to come to the village and meet with you in the next few days.”

Hearing this news, Chen Yang’s mood did not fluctuate much.

“Oh, that’s fine.

Just let me know when they come over,” he said.

“Mm-hmm, I’ll inform you in advance,” Wu Kexin nodded her head and then arrived at the village office.

After waving goodbye to Chen Yang, she went inside.

Chen Yang stood at the gate of the village office watching Wu Kexin enter her room, then turned and went back.

He had no intention of going in to sit.

He still had things to do.

After escorting Wu Kexin to the village office, Chen Yang quickly turned and headed home.

Once home, Chen Yang immediately changed into a clean set of clothes and gathered some items like flashlights, a machete, and a lighter.

Seeing Chen Yang’s preparations, Yang Ruoxi immediately realized that he was heading out.
